"Armor Permutations" is a feature in Halo 3, allowing the player to aesthetically customize his/her multiplayer character.
Introduction
Armor Permutations allows a player to customize his/her multiplayer character as either a UNSC SPARTAN-II or a Covenant Elite, and change between different helmets, shoulder pads, chest armor, and detailed colors (primary color, secondary color, and armor detail). All permutations are aesthetic only and do not change gameplay.
They were originally discovered in the Halo 3 Beta hexadecimal code by modders and were confirmed to provide high levels of player customization by GamePro's June magazine issue[1]. There are "thousands"[2] of possible combinations.
Armor Permutations are unlocked by accomplishments in either the campaign or multiplayer modes of Halo 3.
